"Particularly as there is going to have to be a seismic change in planning and how we live."I think that's more wishful thinking on your part than based on reality.After all, just as this all started the SoS for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Robert "three homes and I can't work out which one to stay in during the lockdown so I'll go from one to the other" Jenrick issued a scathing response (and it really is scathing) to the Mayor's Intend to Publish version of the new London Plan.The gist of that response was that until the Mayor substantially increases the housing targets for the capital, the SoS won't allow that plan to be published.So clearly hi-rise and high density developments within the capital are only going to increase.And, whatever you or I might think, there's many people who can't get enough of living this way in the capital.Perhaps its just wishful thinking, but I do wonder if a lasting legacy of the current situation is that employers and employees finally recognise that in many cases they don't need to commute on a daily basis and can instead work more flexibly, which might, just might, have an impact on housing density and the level of vehicular movements both within the capital and within the SE generally. However, I doubt it.
